I followed the directions at http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/git, as recommended by Dan. I was able to build the drm-intel-2.6.28-20090112.tar.bz2 kernel and boot from it. Good. Then I used the nice script at the end of the www.x.org page labelled "Quick and easy way to install a development build". (Note: the git files were cloned yesterday) The script seemed to run normally (as root). Then I proceeded to the instructions labelled "Running your new stack". I booted the new kernel into run level 3. When I tried insmod'ing the new modules, I couldn't find them. The only ones found are in the new kernel directory, not /opt/gfx-test/ as I expected. [root@xyz]# find / -name drm.ko /home/joe/build/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko [root@xyz]# find / -name i915.ko /home/joe/build/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko I inserted the modules in the 2.6.28 kernel directory, and received the following: [root@xyz]# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [root@xyz]# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko pci 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 on minor 0 Notice the version numbers and dates are not recent. I tried starting X anyway, but the keyboard and mouse where unresponsive. Any ideas why I can't find the new .ko files to use for insmod? Thanks a lot for any suggestions. --- On Sun, 1/18/09, Dan Nicholson <dbn.lists@gmail.com> wrote: <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: Dan Nicholson <dbn.lists@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Fedora 10: Trouble installing libdrm (2.4.4) for latest Intel driver (2.6) To: stopads@yahoo.com Cc: xorg@lists.freedesktop.org Date: Sunday, January 18, 2009, 12:00 PM <pre>On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 1:46 PM, Joe Smith <stopads@yahoo.com> wrote: > Dan, > > Thanks for the info. While I was waiting, I tried installing the latest libdrm rpm from RPM Fusion or Rawhide, not sure which. It was tagged 2.4.3 fc11, but I have fc10. I assumed (ha ha) this was ok because the package manager let me do it. I know, a slippery slope. Anyway, X didn't start after that, and I couldn't easily get it back. So I'm reinstalling now. > > So the question is, can I install rpms tagged for fc11 on fc10? If so, then perhaps X crashed because I had partially installed libdrm 2.4.4 from source, and a conflict developed...? rawhide rpms usually work in stable fedoras. However, getting the graphics right is more that one package. For the whole stack, you'd need (I think): kernel (for newer drm modules/GEM) xorg-x11-server libdrm mesa-libGL (will pull in dri drivers) xorg-x11-drv-i810 As for a specific conflict with libdrm from source, you have /lib/libdrm.so* if you followed the intel instructions. That's not where fedora installs them. You might want to clean up what you can and then "yum reinstall libdrm libdrm-devel". You can probably run "make uninstall" from your libdrm source directory to clean up. -- Dan </pre></blockquote></div></td></tr></table>
